The Spotlight on Aqua Venture Inn

Affordable Comfort Close to the Action in Long Beach

Modern convenience meets value at Aqua Venture Inn, a budget-friendly motel-style stay just minutes from the heart of Long Beach. Located along Pacific Coast Highway, it puts you close to key attractions like the historic Queen Mary and the vibrant downtown area. This no-frills option offers a simple, clean place to rest your head after a night out, with the bonus of free HBO channels to wind down post-show.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short drive or ride-share away from downtown Long Beach’s top venues, making it easy to catch your favorite artist without the hassle of long commutes. With check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM, there’s enough flexibility for most late-night returns. Guests appreciate the relatively quiet surroundings for a budget hotel, meaning you can actually recover after a high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a wallet-friendly base near the city action
- Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
- Couples planning a low-key weekend getaway
- Fans who need a quiet, no-fuss place to relax after the show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want to save for merch and tickets

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer on-site dining, you’ll find a handful of casual eateries and late-night fast-food spots within walking distance. It’s a solid pick if you’re happy to explore local diners or grab takeout after the encore. Since there’s no breakfast service, you might want to plan ahead for that morning-after meal.

Nightlife Options

Head just a few minutes into downtown Long Beach for live music venues, bars, and lounges. From energetic clubs to cozy spots serving local craft brews, there’s something for every vibe. Though the hotel doesn’t have its own bar, its location makes it easy to find the post-show scene you’re looking for.

What People Say

Guests on Booking.com and TripAdvisor say Aqua Venture Inn is a solid budget stay with clean rooms and friendly service. Many praise its location’s convenience for getting around Long Beach, and note that the rooms are surprisingly quiet despite being close to a main road. Travelers also appreciate the availability of essentials like an iron and ironing board on request.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel could use some updates, and some guests mention that the décor feels a bit dated. There’s no on-site breakfast or restaurant, so you'll need to venture out for meals. Still, for the price and location, most guests find it a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

Aqua Venture Inn is a simple, affordable choice for concert-goers who want to stay near downtown Long Beach without blowing their budget.

Gross and smelly

Liked: Staff was decent
Disliked: Terrible rooms smelled musty. Beds were hard and old nasty comforters which were like super thin and no extra blanket in room. No closet at all or anything to hang your clothes. The bathroom is super old and crusty. Water didn't drain when showering. TV on wall with wires everywhere. When you turned on the TV, it said, "Welcome to Luxor" as if they bought old used TV's from Vegas???? Area wasn't the greatest but that was tolerable compared to the room.

Don't stay here!

Liked: Staff was nice and friendly
Disliked: For the price of $150 bucks a night i paid per room this place is terrible! So old and multiple broken things in the rooms. The beds were super hard, and the top coverlet was so thin and seemed like it was comparable to a curtain. One of the beds was pushed all the way against the air conditioner, and cold air basically blew on us all night, but if we turned it off, the room was super stuffy. The bathroom door lock was broken, the toilet paper holder didn't have a spring roll to hold the paper. The bathroom mirror was held on with 2 rusty screws. The tub was all rusty around the drain. There was no closet to hang anything up. The TV had wires all hanging behind it, and the box was just sitting on top of it. It smelled super musty like it had been a smoking room at one time, as well as just super old and gross!!! We booked 2 rooms for a convention last weekend and had other family with us. We had stayed here a few years ago for the same convention and had one of their spa tub rooms, I don't remember it being this terrible. I wouldn't choose to stay here again. I know this is a coastal town and places are expensive but this place takes the cake. I've stayed in the cheapest and oldest rooms in vegas that were 50 bucks a night just a few months ago and 100 times better then this dump.

My experience

Liked: The room was comfortable and quiet. The ultimate ceiling mirrors looked great for a couple, and the bed was comfortable
Disliked: The toilet wasn't flushing properly. No racks or closets to hang my clothes had to put on chairs.

It was cheap, but I’d...

Disliked: It was dirty. Walls are filthy, bathroom had mildew, and the sink was falling off of the wall. We also weren’t able to use the deadbolt lock. Also found a cockroach in the bathroom.
